'A TOUNO man from Steubenville, Ohio was in tbe city on Thursday, in search of his sister, who was recently enticed away from her home by a man who sailed under the name ol Sylvester Gustavus Hackelman, and hailed from Terre Haute.

The County Commissioners

in their

baste to get out of town after appointing one of their own number as Superintendent of the Poor Asylum, left no record of their proceedings with the Auditor.— It is proper to say in this connection that Mr. Trueblood, the Republican member of the Board, took no part or parcel in this transaction, it being solely the work ofthe two Democratic members.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss," is an old and trite saying, but that it does gather butter was demonstrated Saturday evening. Among a lot of butter purchased by Helnig «fe Brother, bakers, of Dan Miller, the groceryman on Fourth street was one fine solid roll, which on cutting open was found to envelop a stone weighing near four pounds. It is due to Mr. Milier to say that be wao innocent of the cheat, having bought the butter stone and all, of a country huckster.

tbe past year the Chis-

About one-half of this amount has been used by tbe company and the balance bas been chipped. The Indianapolis Furnace Company having completed a railroad from their furnace at Brazil, to Otter Creek coal banks, are now taking therefrom, 1,680 bushels of ooalper day. These banks are owned by S. H. Potter, Esq., of this city.

meeting has been called

at tbe New Court Room to-night at 7 o'clock, to determine whether a vote shall, or shall not be taken to nominate a Postmaster for our city. As there has been so much talk upon the subject, and as so many have been free to express themselves in favor of the movement, let there be a general turn out to-night by all toho feel an interest in tbe matter, and have it settled at once. Do not let trifles keep you from the meetibg, but go and asyst, and then you will have no just right to growl at the result. Let tbe dif ferent candidates and their friends go, and let the "Voice of the People" be heard, ilrsl in judgment upon tbe meas ure and afterward upon the man.

body of Philip Keegan, an Irishman, a resident of tbis city for fifteen or twenty years, was taken from the canal, near the rolling mill. Keegan was last seen leaving the Shamrock saloon, on Main street, between one and two o'clock Sunday morning. He was somewhat under the influence of liquor, and it is presumed that in going home he accidentally fell into the canal, tbe water at this point being about ten feet deep. His cap was found on the bank of the canal, which led to the recovery of the body. The deceased was about forty years of age, and lived with a widowed sister named McBride, in the vicinity of the rolling mill. He was engaged, we understand, in no regular occupation, living off the rentals from two'or three houses in the city, which he owned.

TheIncome Tax.—The

The House tf Representatives has been at work on Gen. Schenck's venerable bill revising and codifying our Internal Revenue system, and has concluded to let the Income Tax stand as it is. We regret this. The Income Tax is the most odious, vexatious, inquisitorial, and unequal, of all our taxes. Here, for instance, are two brothers, of wbom one lives on a farm in Iowa, the other in tbe heart of this city the former-having an income of-$2,000, the latter $6,000. Tbe Iowa farmer is far better off than his city brother, lives more freely, keeps his horse and wa^on, which his brother cahnot begin to afford yet the former pays $50 Income Tax and the latter $250. You cannot frame an Income Tax that will not operate thus unequally.

An income Tax is a tax on honesty, and just the reverse of Protective. It tends to tax the quality out of existence. Many who pay in full are provoked and tempted by seeing tbeirricher neighbors get off by the payment of a trifle or without paying at all. It does gall one wbo has just paid an income Tax of $500 to see his richer neighbor come chuckling out of the collector's office with a receipt in full for $100.

We are not grumbling at this tax. We grumble at no necessary tax and we believe this is, for the present necessary. We only insist that it shall be fairly levied and sternly collected. This is one of the many good things we expect from tbe rale that is soon to be. To insure it, the widest publicity is essential and this is what we ask Congress to secure.

Provide that every person above the rank of a day laborer be assessed the full amount of his probable income, and let every one swear his assessment down if be honestly can. But let his affidavit to this end be tendered In writing and filed among the public records of the office and let a full (not partial) list of the tnx-payers and the sums paid by them respectively be always open to public inspection and to publication. Let" it be understood that every list will be published, with the names of all who s^ore that

they had no income above $1,000 per annunf, aad we akall rerfrn (Up year twice the amount collected list year. Next year, or the year after, we tnut that this tax may be. dispensed with altogether.

AS INTERESTING DOCUMENT.

In the House of Representatives, on Wednesday afternoon, the Normal School appropriation bill being under discussion, Mr. Pierce, of Vigo, sent to the Clerk's desk, and asked to have read the state*' meat of Mr. Olcott, one of the Trustee! of tbe "Normal School," in reference to the statement made by Mr. Johnson, of Parke, in the debate of Tuesday, that he bad said that these is needed but $75,000. Objection was made by several members, and the paper was not read. The reason assigned for objecting to the reading of the paper—as we are informed —was that it-would violate the right of a member not to_be called to account for words used in debate Tbe following is a copy of the communication referred to:

LOCAL NOTICES.

NO Ktme —It is a eommon thing, I now Vidays, to hear persons complain about their phyaioal disabilities which bring so mnch discomfort to both mind and body, tbat they find no gratification in anything around them. One has nosatlsf}lng rest at night, another is always pseviah and despondent, still another takes no delight in society, and others again find no compenaatlng pleasnres in labor, exercise, or even life. Mo name is given in pathology for tbeir ailments, nevertheless, the causes are always present. Tliey eimply lack vital power, and Prof. I B.ker ssys that "ihe b^st remedy for this class is MtSBLEK'8 HKBB BITTKB3," whieh he has 'and for several years, and with uniform sue- I oesV as it tones the Stomach and Liver—the seat of tbe complaint—and reconstructs the shattered constitution.
